Dr. Brown is citing examples from England, because it is important to point out that homofascism is happening more and more and not just nationally but globally. I could very well (and Dr. Brown has in the past) cited more examples that have occurred in the states. Your arguments border on non-sequitur. And the Gallaudet woman was punished for signing a petition to have "we the people" vote on the issue of same sex "marriage," which is govt endorsement of homosexual BEHAVIOR. "We the people" typically includes men, women and of different cultural backgrounds and political beliefs. As a Diversity administration, she was living up to her title by signing that petition.

Aura, your comment reveals a level of deception that leaves me both saddened and speechless.

PsychoDad, your comment is quite reactionary and borders on personal attack. I'm a Conservative and registered Independent affiliated with many Republicans on the front lines. Dr. Brown's assessment is pretty indicative of how many Conservatives feel. The point is...we can way our options when it comes to who we vote for, but we can't look or depend on a politica "savior" from any party for any reason. It ALWAYS starts with "we the people" as far as what direction we want our nation to go

So if they ban sugary sodas and people start drinking diet sodas more, do they not realize that the aspartame found in most diet sodas is equivalent to rat poison and much more harmful than sugar?

Yeah, some redneck preacher acting like an idiot in a megaphone is really more harmful that the homosexual acts that are engaged in. That's their (failed) logic

Do you really think homosexual conduct and abortion are personal choices that only affect the individual that makes them, as much as drinking sugary drinks? Your argument fails, b/c it's based on the unproven theory that pppl are born homosexual, that it's an identity, rather than a feeling/behavior. Ppl who are caught up in homosexuality need to keep it a private bedroom matter rather than have govt endorsement of it to a special protected status. The preachers that preach violence against ppl caught up in homosexuality are idiots and don't represent the views of most ppl who disagree with homosexual conduct based on principled reasons, but somehow u believe that when a person acts like a jerk, that validates homosexual conduct?

I don't think he was being sarcastic. He believes that people are born homosexual with his "gay offspring" term.

Kathy, your heart may be in the right place or it may not be, only GOD knows, but you are entering a dangerous very territory by misleading people to believe that GOD ordains sin and immorality.

Separation of church in state means no government will infringe on the religious faith of others regardless of what religion they practice, unless it harms people. If it does, that's where local law enforcement comes in. And your logic still entails a theocracy, but one by the government.

People develop same sex attraction for a myriad of different reasons. In order for it to be innate homosexual orientation has to be rooted in it's own physiology. Another words, a real man has to be able to NATURALLY procreate with another real man and a real women has to be able to NATURALLY procreate with another real woman. When that happens, I will concede that it's innate, but I still won't agree homosexual behavior should be endorsed or affirmed. Just like if they found an alcoholic gene...that would be all the more reason to encourage people to not take the first drink.
